Dylan Thomas Reading "A Child's Christmas In Wales" In 1952

Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas, is recorded here reading his long poem, "A Child's Christmas In Wales". We did the reading in my Communications class in College in the Sixties. I have a CD collection of Thomas reading just about everything he ever wrote. If ever a poet's work was meant to be read aloud, it is Thomas. His melodic mastery of the English language resonates today. Take a few minutes and lose yourself in the magic of Christmas. Then, hug everyone you love, realizing that they won't be there forever. Beautiful moments are transient. Appreciate them.
